Anyone in socal... HELP!
I'm in Wilmington (I know it's the barrio, but I can live on my tiny sailboat cheap) and am trying to get my 924s running (I bought it with a busted timing belt, and got it all together), everything seems to work the way it should, but it still won't start. If any of you guys could help I'd be eternally gratefull! I'm so frustrated
 !

I wish I could help but I'm a mechanical moron...
First questions, you bought it with a broken timing belt? 924S? 2.5 liter engine? If so valves typically get bent when belt goes bye bye.

Did you replace the bent valves?
Are the two sensor wires reversed? Do you have the spark plug cables plugged in correctly?

It ate all of the exhaust valves. I've tried the sensors in both positions, Double checked the plug wires. The injectors are firing, the fuel pump is running, getting spark, I'm baffled.

Where are you located? I'm right over on Ocean Boulevard; maybe I can come over and look at it with you later today or tomorrow. . .
You've checked that everything is in the proper position timing-wise I'm assuming (right?) So the valves are open / closed at the proper time and the spark is occuring at the correct time? If you're getting air + fuel + spark, there's no reason it shouldn't start.
